Y dies may be adjustably mounted inthe diestock.

Referring more particularly to the drawings asexemplifyingthe preferred construction of' my invention, provide a svvage block l, upon the lower side of which is pivoted a vise block 2 by means of a bolt passing vertically through said block, andally at the bottom thereof, so as to provide] theupper retaining flanges 8. Within this guide-Way 7 I slidingly mount an arbor A, through its pedestal 9 by means of the `lateral? lugs 10 projecting down into said guide-Way 7, the base of the pedestal having a bearingiupon and traveling along the uprrperlsurface 'of the swage block 1. A bolt vhole 11 pierces the pedestal 9 through from top tobottom, .and a `bolt 12V is passed up through this bolt hole and engages the under y 'A' sides of the flanges 8 by means of the bolt d fourth object is to pioifide meansfort 'readily clamping the saw head 13, while'- a thumb nut 14 at the upper `endof the bolt'lQ, affords means for clamping the pedestal 9 at any point along the guide Way 7 by merely turning said thumb nut.` An arm 15 is rigidly mounted on the upper" end of the pedestal 9V andextends forwardly,

ending `in''the-vertical diestock socketld` provided at its lower-end vvithu an annular spring support or, shoulder 17 and With-"a screw-slot 18 cut through the Wall at the Vupper end of the socket. The diestock 19 insertedithrough the 'slot 18 into the die-'-` stock 19 holds theisaid-stock Within its socket, ivhile at the same time permitting `the reciprocating motion of the same. A vertical die-socket 26 may be cutin thelower end of the die-stock 19 adapted to receive the shank 27 of the sivaging die 28. Thus, dies of' various shapes and sizes may be readily inserted, as required, or the different swagingdiesmay be formedV integral `With their ,Steaks and the serions ,steekt ,albsttutedv in` ino CIT

the socket 16, as required. An anvil mortise 23 is cut in the forward vertical face oi the swage block l at the centertlieieot in such manner that the sidesV Ziltend to coiiverge from top to bottom, so that tlie'complem'entary wedge-shaped anvil 25, cut to contorni to said' niortise, may be lirmly wedged therein, and thus held in place in use. At the saine time the anvil 25 maybe knocked upward, and thus i'reod from the mo'rtise when it is desired to replace an old anvil with a new one. The parts aforesaid are so proper- `tioned and positionedthat the outer angle operateswitn the pointer G8 projecting from, the pedestal 9, and affords means :for adjusting tliepedestal 9 in the guide-way at any required angle, so that tlieangle `ot the Vdiegwill -meet the pitch of the saw-teeth for theproper swaging `cat said teeth. `An adT justable depth gage-3l. Lis\provided, having its centralportion cut away, soiasfto leave an opening 32 for the passage of the diefQS, and having an adjustment slot 33, through which the'setl screw 3l `passes andV engages the swage block 1, thus aifording means "for locking said gage inV any set position. i

An adjustable sawfliolding bracket 35- is mounted on tliegforward vertical` face' of the swage block l immediately in front ofthe anvil 25, `and is extended perpendicularly Y forward, and is .adaptedor vertical, pivotal Vmotion relative tosaid swage'blocly l; The

preferred mounting ashere shown provides for a horizontal, half-round arial bearing block 86, with adjustment slots 37 cut" through the ends thereof, and throughwhich set screws 38 are passed into the swagevblock l, whereby ythe said axial. bearinglolocl86v may4 be j adjustedV vertically; A Calibrated plates'f are vertically mounted, One each 'upionithevertical faces of the swagebloclr l adjacent' the ends oi"- :the axial bearing block 36, land Vadapted Vto register with pointers 64 vupon the ends ofV said bearingV block as means for horizontally positioning` the said bearing block upon the faceV of theV swage block.

Y similar half-round 39 1s :formedI centrallyT upon said bearing block, and has lateral, semi circular, wedgcv shaped inortiseslO adapted to receive, and

`holdin place the complementary.'seinifcircular, wedgeLshaped flanges 41, formed at theinner ,end` e4 of said adjustable sawholdingbracket 85. While the mortises 4:0V

form a complete semi-circle, the flanges 4l are cut short' of a full semi-circle, so as to leave'aniarc of space A2, through which said flanges'inayf be pivotally turned upon said bearing surface l bearing surface 39', thus allowing `the outer end l? of the braclliet 35 to be raised or lowered; Two seti" screws 43 are mounted longitudinally through the upper and lower A.portions of the end 44 of the saw-holding ,bracket 35havinga threaded engagement p therewith, and areV adapted to impinge perpendicularly against the if'erticalfface of the anvil 25. rlhus the upper face 'e5 of the saw-holding bracket may be readily adjusted to any requiredfangle of, inclination teeth A seinicircular calibrated plate 65, l i

mounted upoiithe axialbearing block, co-

operateswith a pointer 6G to indicate the required angle of inclination.V holding bracket. 35 providedwitli a longitudinal, vertical slotll extending from the inner end lll to the outer end -l-T; `hilounted within said slot is a sliding and adjustable` disk-like lieadstock or clamT e8 consistingV i i 7 si of a clamping bolt 49, and Vri lly mounted thereupon'a c islr 50,1.w-ithV an elongated lug of .the dislifand ada t the 4slot- Lld The d josition along the slot 4l@ vby nieansfo a thumb nut-Q52 threadedly em'aging'the bolt.. rnb nut` lv of the' 51'? l, 4:9 at theilower end. A'siiuilar th 53 is Vmounted upon Vthe upper `enr bolt'll, by means oi which .a circular saw 73 may be rotatably,positioned "uponithe dish 50.V An additional sliding clamp 5d. isv like-,V

wiseinounted in the slot 46, same consistingV of lower jaw 55,;with an elongated lug permanently. Y joined, at" the lower side thereof,- aiid adapted to slidinglv engage said slot, and the rigidly` ttached-bolt' projecting downward *through Vsaid v slfit,

and having a` thumb nut 58 mounted at'the lower end of the-bolt; An upperjaw`59,

provided witha medial' transverse rocking jaw 55'.V 1 Bythis arrangement the 'forward end 63 of the V'upper jaw 59 may 'be adjusted relative to the lower-jaw55 for the purpose ot receiving saws Vof various Athic"misses Two ila

iis

other than circular saws, by merely turning the screjwsrGQ 'and VFor the accommodation o'tfsawsofvery narrow band saws, an additional tra slot 69V is cutacross the torwz'rird end of the lower side of the upper aw 59, so'that when said upper jaw is clamped tightly against the lower jaw,said band saw may be passed blades, `such as averse oiicset or positioned upon'the anvil 25. Likewise, the

entire'clamp 54. may be locked at any desired position along the slot 46 by IturiiingtheI thumb nut58. 3. j

In operation, the teeth of various kinds ot saws may bei setby this tool, as aforesaid. F or setting a band saw 70, i'ior instance,` the upper jaw 59 is turneddown snugly against the Llower 'jaw 55.' The sliding clainp 154 advanced yforwardly toward the depth 'gage 3l, so that the teeth ot the saw will projectf overthe upper tace oi theanvil 25asre`-` quiredl for the proper 'depth of setl in the teeth. The-slidingclampf 5dthen locked snugly in position as is also the vdepth gage 3l. The pedestal 9 is then so positioned in the guide-way 7 that thej outer angle'29 of the die 28 will fall upon the saw tooth v71 'iwhich is being set,I at the required angle' ot inclinationto correspond to the pitch of lthe teeth. The width of set in theyteeth isreg# ulated by raising or lowering the adjustable saw-holding bracket 35, as above described.`

A blow with a mallet upon the head ('4 of the diej-stock 19will operate to swage the tooth 71 of the saw as required, Thus,the operation is repeated forI all of the :teeth of the bandf saw which are swaged ftoione side, atterwhichthe saw is reversed end for end in the clamp 54, the pedestal 9 is moved around the guide-way" 7 so that the die A28 willA similarly act upon all of the teeth of the saw which are to be swaged to the` opposite f1. side.' Similarly for settingthe teeth oiithe various kinds of flat saws. For heavy rip" saws, orcross-cut saws, the clamp 54 is, ot

course, moved backward and the jaws 55and 59 are v opened accordingly toreceive the blade.- For` setting 'circular saws, the clamp 54 is' removed from the slotad andthe cir-V cular saw is' mounted -overy and upon the headstock 48 by passingthebolt LlQthroughy the" hole atthe centeiot the saw and `turifiing the thumb nutti` down nponjthe saw. The headstock isthen `advanced along the slot, and by properly adjustingr the depth gage 31, and the angle of inclination of the saw-holding bracket 85, the teeth of the saw,` may be successively turned over the anvil 25 for the, our ose of settino' or swa'ino same.

i i O n Likewise, the pedestal 9 is properly adjusted andlockedin its guideway, and the headstock Li8 is `locked in position by Vturning up the thumbesci'ews. The teeth T2fo`i :the circular saw are now revolved under the die 28 1 for tliepuijpose of ,sw'aging same toene' side, afterwhich the saw is reversed on the headstocln'and the tool is adjusted for swag- -ing the teeth to the other side. Similarly,

teeth of any kinder characterof` saw may properly set by regulating the adjustments as described. Y lf desired, a lever 'might be mounted" in connes` fen with the die holdery and used iii the 'operation oit' the tool instead itpreferred, the anvil 25 may be'dispensedf with, andthe swagingcdone directly upon the'upper surfaceotthe swage block. Various other modifications might be employed without departing frein the principles ot my invention, and while l have herein described ceitainispecitic manner and method oi constructing andassenibling the elements oi my invention, it is understood that I may vary -roni the same in minor details, not departing from the spirit of my invention, so as best to construct a practical device for the purpose intended, as defined in the appended claims.
